demands justice over yet another death of an adopted russian child in the u.s. as washington fails to deliver on the promise to better follow up on the many cases of abuse against russian children. the country doesn't have to ask anybody for me for explanations over the granting of assigned them why on earth should we do that . after securing a third term ecuadorian president rafael correia talks to r.t. about what's to come for the world's top with a son sure remains under the country's protection in london. and the u.k. france to secure a place among india's top trading partners as business relations between europe and european powers turned lukewarm.

and i get to have a company watching r.c.a. live from moscow with may. three year old russian boy has died in the us allegedly at the hands of his adoptive mother the claims come a month after a new law came into effect banning american citizens from adopting russian children following similar cases is demanding severe punishments for the death of men however according to russian diplomats the u.s. state department has so far been reluctant to cooperate with an investigation. has this report that this case unfolded in texas according to officials three year old maxime died on january twenty first at the hands of his adoptive mother the conducted by russia's investigative committee revealed that maksim was beaten by

his adoptive mother who according to officials also fed him strong psychotropic medication and investigators say that the boy allegedly died before medics arrived at the scene but that it was his adoptive mother who had called the medics to begin with an autopsy reportedly show that nexium suffered multiple injuries to his head his abdomen and internal organs prior to his death officials say the three year old boy's arms legs and head were also covered in scratches and bruises this is just one of twenty cases when a russian adopted child dies in the custody of an american family here in the states some examples include back in two thousand and eight a russian boy died after spending nine hours in a car with temperatures reaching up to thirty two degrees celsius but his adoptive father faced up to ten years in jail for manslaughter however he was found not guilty and walked free there was

a case in which an american mother. boarded her adoptive russian son on a flight to moscow and giving him just a note saying she doesn't want to be his mother anymore in the few weeks past few weeks russia did adopt legislation banning u.s. adoptions of russian children it was criticized by many. saying that it prevents russian children from having a better life than american families russian officials say but the new law it's targeting the us legal system that according to russian officials has been treating cases of russian children through treatment or manslaughter with it is missable leniency. given unfortunately it's usually months after a russian child has died in the ways that the american side informs us about it and one case it was five years after a boy died and that's how our cooperation with us works if they did not inform us fast enough or the information is not reliable the right tens of thousands of russian adoptive children leaving in the u.s.

and we haven't got a clue about the lives of most of them there is no confirmation that they're all right and they're not being to be released do what they do want to show it's an investigation into the death of maxime is still on going to find out greater details when my or i've been off several books on international adoption says despite washington's promise to better investigate the abuse of russian children by that american adoptive families the longstanding problem still hasn't been properly addressed this is been the ongoing problem and what russia has been demanding from from the u.s. for years is follow up but the united states is not set up to follow up on adoptions once their final ones that's been a thorn in the side of russian officials for good reason with these now twenty cases of abuse that have resulted in the death of these twenty four we don't know how many other children are. living with abuse or you know that haven't died from

it. ecuador's leader rafael correia is celebrating haven't secured a third term as the country's president our colleagues from r.t.e. spanish channel spoke to the newly reelected leader and among other issues i asked him about his take on the future of the world's top whistle blower and wiki leaks editor julian assange she remains holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london. then. it's up to europe now is it accurate who has used its sovereignty to do what it had to do i mean our country doesn't have to ask anybody for political or offer explanations but we're facing an immense arrogance and a policy of neocolonialism they want us to provide some explanations over the granting of asylum why on earth should we do that and on top of that they want us to cancel that decision we will never do that. while activists and radio show host solomon commish young says it's korea's opposition to the white house that could

keep him in office for quite some time to come. the sentiment on the ground with most ecuadorians as well as the growing sentiment throughout latin america is that those who continue to align themselves with the u.s. unconditionally are not going to find support from the people the people who eventually are the ones who are going to be casting their ballots during these elections has been outspoken against us the new york colonization has been an outspoken against all of the new your liberal agenda and us imperialism quite some time folks are done with this whole all model where we're going to continue to be you know continuously emperor ritually dependent on us and it's his corporate interests that those days are done hopefully. still to come for you this hour playing with fire. almost clouds costs etc and i see this person will start going to lots of fire with up to four children as they

cope with weapons in u.k. schools according to latest data and we look at how the worse than worrying trend is being dealt with. and as israel continues its push for more settlements we'll report from a controversial area of land known as the one that is threatening to kill off any hopes for a viable two state solution. as the u.k.'s relations with europe turn increasingly south london appears to be seeking an alternative market to support his debt stricken economy the british prime minister is on a three day visit to the country's former top colony india in a bid to officials and investors david cameron has called on new delhi to cut regulations and made take to encourage stronger trade ties with the u.k. pm says britain wants to become india's economic partner of choice visit comes as france also seeks to expand its ties with the rapidly growing asian economy just last week president francois hollande was in india to hammer deals some of the

london will face challenges in winning over new delhi. the size of the delegation certainly show the aggressive nature or far right mr cameron's drive to seek trade abroad right now prime minister cameron is not the best friend all the rest of the you especially france and germany so i think the interests of the two countries france and britain are quite separate britain feels that because of the historic gone relationship with india. britain can. then perhaps first where the indian government however i would say this the historical remedy of colonial rule doesn't sit very well with the indians still meanwhile reports reveal the u.k. has already made

a killing by selling weapons to an asian country kisa grapes human rights violations sri lanka has allegedly bought more than three million pounds worth of small arms and ammunition from london as despite the country's record of mistreating minorities and suppressing separatism antiwar activists jim brann believes the u.k.'s placing geopolitics human rights. because those that use to teach you questions because sri lanka occupies a very strategic position. in the indian ocean you have the united states what they call the pivot toward asia which britain is dutifully going along with good relations with sri lanka would be very valuable in that context also because this whole idea that britain abides by human rights criteria in arms exports simply doesn't make sense and generally should be discounted the answer trade is a very hard. profitable geo politically important business and that's

a stark insight into the reality facing some of britain's schoolchildren despite having one of the best education systems in the world the latest research estimates that up to four peoples a day a court with weapons in british schools guns knives and knuckle dusters just some of the items confiscated by police are. searching the school and. gone to the school i had. gone. on about the fire schools are supposed to be a safe secure environment where the focus is on education the thing is have revealed that hundreds of weapons are being seized in schools every year with a number of violent incidents on the rise the reality for many schools across the bay is that your classmate can quickly become your enemy and the school playground can be a dangerous place but it's not only the peoples who are subject to violence in

london alone this being more than four thousand assaults on teachers by peoples over the past year is it's a shocking indication at the levels of fine is the school becomes normal to. get involved in this you get sucked into this last thing to violence the best approach. is it's just waking up in the morning and going for run yeah after a while it becomes normal to you stephen is now working with the charity x l p thirty nine hundred ninety six after school stabbing founded patrick regan has been helping young people tackle gun culture and violence a member could come up to me when a bullet proof vest underneath his school uniform he said i'll be dead by first according to patrick it's early intervention which is key in prison is forty foul. the year young person's secure unit is a hundred and sixty five thousand pounds

a year a murder can be a million pounds a year to investigate so actually you know if we intervene early keep kids in education keep that sense of a safe place an environment where they can grow and flourish then it's far better that doesn't take into consideration the emotional course you know i have to deal with people who've lost their sons and their daughters to gun and knife crime. so we have to address. the problem of violence in schools is not a new one it's not something you're likely to read about in a school prospectus and it's particularly acute in the countries deprived in a city for schools on the whole do not want the public to know that they have a problem with children bringing weapons onto the premises so they do not readily give the information so i guess the problem is significant or they teach it can now see people's if they suspect they're carrying a weapon many politicians the still failing to sit up and take notice and until

more it's done to address the problem the children who attend these schools will continue to learn these lessons. with a handful of sports stadiums across the u.k. already being named after companies petrodollars gulf states continue. on our website find out which of the military institutions is set to a building after the king of bahrain. also online after russia's you were hit by ten thousand the country's scientists are rushing to develop a system that could counteract space threats more on the project. he.

he foreign ministers have taken the surprise step to amend an embargo on syria lang great unknown lethal aid into the country for civilian protection britain claimed victory following the move along with france they've been pushing for direct weapons supplies to fly to the rebels for months meanwhile un investigators found by the syrian opposition and the government are committing war crimes adding that there is guilty should face justice at the hague before an f.a. is at its if a corner calls magazine should get of age things and criminal court is just a cover for a powerful absolute force pulling the strings. so ultimately it's a political court the foundation of the entire edifice is the ideology of the

universal political and legal culture of the whole world is the kind by the post-modern west so this is really a signal which is supposed to hide the essence of this project and it is to treat bashar and his government as members of joint enterprise so i think this is just a choreographed pass to conceal the fact that the decision in washington has already been made but luckily bashar is proving to be a much tougher nut to crack than they expected. despite monday's anti israeli protests in the west bank the country's value not to backtrack from its settlement plans israel's been eyeing a disputed area of land known as the one for years even though building there might drive a stake through the heart of any future peace solutions with the palestinians. are

investigates its rugged and remarkable landscape largely empty but full of meaning this is one of the west bank's most sensitive pieces of real estate for fourteen years plans to build here have existed but were kept on hold but all of that changed last november less than twenty four hours after the u.n. general assembly recognize palestine is a nonmember observer state tel aviv fast track to construction plans here prompting the palestinian government to call it a slap in the face of the entire world. this plan to build here is not legal according to international law which states that when one country occupies another encounter and change facts on the ground israel is doing exactly that so we're also getting people out of the land soley for the benefit of the setlist. known as the one this controversial patch of earth exists between east jerusalem where palestinians aspire to establish the capital of a future palestinian state and the huge israeli settlement of ma'ale adumim it is

the last remaining corridor between the large palestinian cities in the west bank and if plans go ahead in the israelis extend this area it would cut into a big chunk of the west bank effectively driving a wedge into the middle of any potential palestinian state critics have warned that filling the space with jewish homes amounts to a doomsday scenario effectively striking a fatal heart attack to the two state solution but for now the plan is to build a garbage dump in this valley with the waste that comes from jerusalem and then in about twenty to thirty years when it's full to build a park on top of us here you can see mark palestinians fear it's part of a long term strategy to extend the one and build new israeli settlements it's not surprising this is not the first time that such a plan is submitted it is a part of ongoing policy that has been growing for years now in at them to grab palestinian lands but first the israelis need to get rid of the people who live

here among them around three arab jerusalem neighborhoods and a hundred and fifty bedouins for whom this has been home for nearly half a century mohammad cushion is angry he says tel aviv doesn't want him and his tribe here but it also refuses to allow them to return to their original village in the make of desert from where they fled after the creation of the state in one nine hundred forty eight when a lot of them it is discrimination they give the settlers everything that they want to them and we're as we do not ask for anything besides laying in the land and they want to evacuated us or children and we are surrounded by wall of what was like being in a prison one of the that they will grow up and will not make peace in the future with israel was a lot tel aviv complains the bedwyn camps were set up eagerly without permits. and stand in the way of urban planning but critics say this is just an excuse for a land grab it makes me furious this dump site is going to harm the environment and it's going to harm the health of the people and they make it harder and harder to

find a solution for the situation demolition orders have already been issued threatening to destroy the last remnants of bedwyn life in these hills and while israeli officials say the construction anyone if it happens at all is many years away it cuts to the heart of the israeli palestinian conflict which fundamentally is about the land and the fate of the people who live on it pointlessly r r t in the west bank backing up here in r.t. we look at those who celebrate new year on a train rather than at home. to music sigrid laboratory tim curry was able to build on its most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything turns mission to teach creation why it should care about

. all of those north korean scamps are added again another nuclear test in north korea has made all the headlines trust me nuclear missiles are something worth

being concerned over but haven't we heard this song and dance before all the way back in two thousand to the north koreans calling for the b.b.c. rule that they have a secret weapons program and turned their young beyond nuclear reactor back on since then every once in a while a missile flies people see the war's coming and silence then another test of some sort of shock horror and then silence again with great just uses this is a bargaining tool to get what they want and rather how wacky the north korean state may seem they understand that launching one or two missiles against united states means they probably won't even hit their target and in return their entire country will turn into ash instantly this situation really isn't cause for concern until something big changes like the us not being in a position to support south korea japan or some other dramatic event that changes the game like china giving up their support for the north korean side but for now the cycle just keep going on and on and about two years the same headlines will be back with the same fear will be back a lather rinse repeat but that's just my opinion.
